Hey all, kind of a morbid topic, but researching all RR related fatalities on the GTW Grand Rapids sub. So far I think I have come across 67--including 52 from the Milwaukee sinking. Others come from late 1800s derailments, a Coast Guard fatality in Muskegon during the rescue attempt on the Henry Cort (1934--inbound with pig iron for CWC) and traffic crossing accidents etc. I'm guessing there are dozens more from this line alone and I'm wondering what ideas people may have to research this subject? So far I've just been going through my various notes from over the years. Any ideas? Ed
